Abstract
A process for making liquid polymers by condensing monomers and/or oligomers, mixing them with a catalyst where required, and dispersing the mixture via an atomizing device to form small droplets suspended in a reaction chamber. The reagents are caused to polymerize in the dispersed state. The process is preferably carried out in a spray dryer using an atomizing device and is particularly useful for polymerizing organosilicon compounds by condensation.
Claims17
A process for making liquid polymers by condensing reagents selected from the group consisting of organosilicon compound monomers and oligomers and mixtures thereof which comprises mixing the reagents with an appropriate amount of catalyst, dispersing the reagents via an atomising device forming an atomized mixture of small droplets suspended in a reaction chamber and polymerising the in a dispersed, atomized state.
